FabFilter Pro-DS
by FabFilter
Precise, adaptive de-esser with intelligent sibilance detection.
Overview
Pro-DS uses intelligent detection to catch only the sibilant parts of a vocal, so it doesn't dull the rest of the sound. It's the modern reference de-esser for bright vocal chains.
Best used for
Controlling sibilance after a bright vocal chain adds high end.
Why engineers use it
It's set-and-forget. The default detection catches sibilance without over-processing plosives or bright vowels.
